FOREST AND StftEAM. 
WESTERN TRAP. 
New London Tournament. 
New London, la., Oct. 21.— The shoots held by Dr. Cook are 
always up to date. There is every inducement held out by the 
sportsman doctor in way of cash and merchandise prizes. The 
best of the western amateurs were here present, as well as the 
top of the "profess." Chas. W. Budd was manager, Fred Whitney 
was in the office; and he was busy, too, as the shoot was a long 
one, 200 targets, then a handicap, each day. 
The shooters ran thus: Russell Klein, John Burmister and 
Fred Gilbert, Spirit Lake, la.; L. Foley and T. B. Nichols, 
Nichols, la.; Henry Arp, Davenport, la.; John W. Garrett, Col- 
orado Springs, Colo. ; Guy Burnside, Knoxville, 111. ; C. M. 
Powers, Decatur, 111. ; R. D. Guptill, Atkin, Minn. ; R. and M. 
Thompson, Canisville, Mo.; Wm. Riemer, Durant, la.; Wm. 
Townsend, Omaha, Neb.; W. A. Waddington, Beatrice, Neb.; 
W. F. Thorpe, Geneva, Neb.; Wm. Veach, Falls City, Neb.; 
Wm. T. Cole, Thompson, 111.; F. D. Ellett, Tom A. Marshall, 
Kiethsburg, 111.; W. D. Ridley, Whot Cheer, la.; H. Steege, 
Waterloo, la.; W. Hoon, Jewell, la.; A. D. Sperry, Rock Island, 
111; A. C. Soter, Burlington, la.; Bart Wagner, Lomax, 111.; 
1L" W. Vietmeyer, Chicago, 111.; A. P. McDowell, Adair, la.; C. 
T. Keck, Chicago, 111.; C. A. Young, Springfield, O. ; F. R. 
Patch, Hartley, la.; W. R. Crosby, O'Fallon, 111.; J. R. Hale, 
Yarmouth, la.; S. Nau, Danville, la.; Dr. Sternberg, Mt. Pleas- 
ant; F. F. Smith, Burlington. 
The weather man was at his best the first day, and this aided in 
making good scores. Crosby set a hot pace, and Gilbert chal- 
lenged him ; 195-194 out of 200 tells the tale plainly. Little Russell 
Klein was pointing "moighty foine," and landed 187 to Guptill, 
the G. A. H. winner, 185. Nichols, Hoon, Marshall, and Powers 
went each above the 90 per cent. mark. 
The Invitation Handicap was the most interesting event, and it 
was won with the great score of 49 by Mr. Thompson, the man 
from Missouri. Chan. Powers took second with 48, and there 
were seven with 47, so even were the handicaps adjusted. 
The second day was styled a "Duck Day," and shooting was 
not possible until afternoon. One Wm. Veach got going early, 
and keeping going until late, with 195 broken, was high man for 
the day. Crosby 194. Gilbert 193. Guptill gained 3 targets on 
Klein. In all, seventeen men shot above 90 per cent. 
The Grand Target Handicap was on this day, and what a finish 
it proved. With Powers at 22yds. and R. Thompson at 17yds., a 
50 straight was made. On the first shoot-off each missed one, 
which was repeated a second time. Then the third trial resulted 
in another 24 for Powers, to Thompson's straight 25. Thus 
Thompson made 123, Powers 122 out of 125, with Powers on the 
long-distance peg. 
On the third day there was more bad weather, yet the shoot 
was not stopped; but the scores made were very poor as com- 
pared with the former day. Crosby lost 14, Gilbert 21. Only 
Taylor and Cole reached 90 per cent. 
In the Sympathy Handicap Gilbert and Powers made 47, and 
that remained at the top until' R. Thompson made them all sad 
with his 48 from IS yards. Thus all the handicaps were won by 
the Thompson brothers. The ninety per cent, trophy was won 
by Guptill as he came on strong with 48. The eighty per cent, 
was won with one Guy Burnside. 
Thus the big three days' shoot came to an end without either 
Klein, Gilbert or Burnside taking a trophy, something which 
never before occurred at one of these shoots. Scores:

Knoxville Tournament. 
Knoxville, 111., Oct. 24.— Last Friday, the 21st, as the shooters 
were gathering at Knoxville to do honor to one Guy Burnside 
and E. D. Rambo by taking part in a shooting tournament, the 
heavy rain poured down, and the wind became strong and fierce. 
The shooters faced the traps and storm and those present did 
the best possible. The scores should show best how bad it was 
on that October day. 
The second day was not much better; yet Crosby made a 
great score, 192. Rambo was high amateur for the two days.

Bryan Shoot. 
Bryan, Tex. — The shoot held here last week was a good one, 
although the wind blew hard and directly in, and towering targets 
made the shooting difficult. There were twenty-five present, and 
all were of Texas's best. Mr. Turner E. Hubby was first of the 
professionals and Otto Sens, the good one from Houston, was 
the best of the amateurs. The medal and cup were distributed 
thus: Sens the loving cup, M. E. Atchinson, of Giddings, Tex., 
the arms company medal, and J. A. Jackson, of Austin, the 
Brazos Valley handicap on 50 straight. The scores for two days, 
follow :

At Taylotville* 
Taylorvilie, 111., Oct. 28.— The past two days there have been a 
few of the faithful in the town popping away at the clay pigeons. 
It seems hard to draw a good crowd at the shoots held during 
this month. The weather and the management were of the best, 
and Messrs. Kellar and Speer are so often seen at the tournaments 
that they deserved better patronage. 
Frank Riehl was present, and he bagged high average with 
something to spare. Cadwallader was second. Kellar and Speer, 
the home men, shot such an even race that they made a tie. 
The trade men present were: Riehl, Standish, Cadwallader and 
Keck. Scores :

In Other Places. 
The eighth and last tournament for 1904 to be held by the Missouri 
League of Trapshooters will be held on Thanksgiving Day and also 
the following day, at the Blue River Shooting Park, Kansas City, 
Mo. The last day there will be handicapping, with $100 added. 
A. P. . McDowell sends out the information that a tournament 
will be held by the Adair, la., Gun Club Tuesday, Nov. 15. There 
will be 200 targets on the programme. 
Farmer Jones and the Farmer City, 111., bunch have come to 
life, and will hold a tournament on Thursday. 
. Rumor has it that all the best shots of Ohio will gather at the 
traps at Massillon, Nov. 4. This is owing to the gun club mem- 
bers having decided to hold a fall tournament. 
Billy Allen and all the other shooters of Hutchinson, Kans., 
turned out on Friday to welcome and shoot with Mr. Harold 
Money, who was a visitor in the city. 
A letter from Austin, Tex., says that while Jackson won the 
trophy, Wallace Miller also made 48. The Austin boys wish it 
generally understood that they had a fine time, and that the Bryan 
boys entertained in fine style. 
At the Ann Arbor, Mich., Shooting Park, Tuesday, there was a 
match that was novel. It was a shoot in which eight Republi- 
cans beat the same number of Democrats by 16 points. The 
Republicans were Reuben Armbruster, Herman Armbruster, Wm. 
Weimer, Chas. Schlemmer, Chas. Kloger, William Carson, Lewis 
Stoebby and Geo. Brass. The Democrats were John Mayer, Sr., 
John Mayer, Jr. ; Henry Mayer, Herman Mayer, Lewis Kurtz, 
Edward Stoll, Christian Martin and John Walz. 
Several sportsmen of Joplin, Mo., took a trip to Indian Territory 
and found snipe and other game sufficient for pleasurable outing. 
Hon. H. E. Ellis has organized a gun club at Covington, La., 
and all arrangements have been made for trapshooting. J. F. 
Jolly was elected Captain; Dr. O. J. Toujan, Treasurer. There 
will be a meeting for practice every Tuesday. The range is re- 
ported so good that some of the New Orleans clubs are expected 
to hold tournaments thereon. 
News come from Streator, 111., that a team race was held Tues- 
day, the losers to pay for a supper. The race was a close one, 
Schlochten's team winning by just one target. 
Mr. Clark Gideon was the best at the last practice shoot of the 
Bloomington, 111., Gun Club. He made 74 and lost only the last 
target. 
The Canton, la., Gun Club held a gold medal shoot last week. 
It was the intention of the Bridge City Gun Club, of Logans- 
port, Ind., to abandon shooting during the hunting season and 
the winter, but the latest advices are that shoots will go on the 
winter through. 
The Shelbyville, Ind., Gun Club gave its third annual shoot 
Friday. The weather was cold and thus attendance was not as 
expected. Ried won the high gun. 
Capt. Hardy and C. E. Williams thought to make a record on 
last Saturday at Lincoln, Neb., smashing targets, but were pre- 
vented from so doing by the -high winds that prevailed. No good 
scores were made. Game Warden Carter gave out the informa- 
tion that he would on Nov. 10 shoot with Dan Bray, who has 
challenged for the Post trophy. 
Robert B. Watson, of Corydon, Ind., met with an accident 
while hunting which caused him the loss of his foot. He dis- 
charged his gun while crossing a log and the charge struck his 
foot. He is a traveling salesman, and had gone into the woods 
to try his luck shooting squirrels. 
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has included gun clubs in his 
ordinance licensing shooting galleries, and it seems that gun 
clubs having parks in the city would have to pay $25, although 
the city law was also amended so that the Mayor and his friends 
could hunt in the city, provided they did not shoot within a line 
of 500ft. from a house. 
At Youngstown, O., shoot, Mr. Nutt gave a prize, then he 
captured it himself, so he is a hard "nut to crack" some time. 
Mr. Osborne was out of luck entirely, as he intended to win - 
many of the prizes. He was selected as a juryman, and the - 
judge compelled him to serve while the shoot was being held. 
Two committees have been appointed by the Multomah Rod 
and Gun Club, of Portland, Ore., for the purpose of raising $5,000 
for a tournament to be held by the Lewis and Clark Fair. The 
members are R. D. Inman, Arthur R. Bentley, W. A. Storey, A. 
J. Winters, J. D. Honeyman, Will F. Lipman. J. E. Cullison and 
W. A. Hillis were put on the committee for grounds. 
On Nov. 6, at Fort Wayne, Ind., there will be another match 
between Hugh Clark, of Wabash, Ind., and Max Witz, for $50 
each at 50 live birds.

diana champion, will shoot a match at 50 live birds on Thanks- 
giving Day.
